Reign of Edward the Third and Regency Strife
A fragment discusses Edward the Third's minority and the Queen Mother Mortimer's faction seizing power. It describes the murder of Edward II, forged peace with Scotland, the controversial marriage alliances, and the falling out with Henry Earl of Lancaster and other nobles.
